Traffic and driving is up compared to 2019. Mass transit use dropped dramatically.
The economy only tanked for a brief period in 2020 and then had massive stimulus injected that led to a rush for consumer goods and real estate. Oil production increased and more oil and gas are being burned. Overall the trajectory for generation of greenhouse gases did not change significantly.
- isityouyesitsme 3y agoHmm, most of that passes the smell test to me, thanks. The part that doesn't: I'm admittedly looking only at my Urban area, but traffic is much less than it was. I still commute to the office, and it just isn't what it used to be, even into the city. My commute takes about 10 minutes less than it used to, 15 minutes instead of 25. Obviously not a huge city, but definitely one that is well known across the U.S.
